Sailing into the past world of Bay City and beyond is being offered again this year in the second annual Saginaw River History Cruise on Aug. 21.

An evening of dinner and entertainment with a narrative on the history of the local riverfront and authentic folk music from the era will be on tap. Proceeds from the evening will go to preservation of the historic Trombley House in Veterans Memorial Park, as well as the historic Pine Ridge Cemetery.

Tickets for the cruise aboard the Princess Wenonah are $25 and can be purchased at the Bay County Historical Museum, 301 Washington Ave.

Included in the price is a picnic buffet, coffee, soft drinks and snacks, plus there will be a cash bar featuring the famous Wenonah Hotel punch.

Boarding for the cruise begins at 5:30 p.m. and the cruise will sail from 6-9 p.m. The Princess Wenonah is berthed at the Bay City Boats dock at the foot of Ninth Street.
